Best Mods for Half Life 2?

I just received a copy of Half Life 2 from a nice member on the Kindness Thread. One of the reasons I wanted this game was because of the amazing mods I've seen for this game. As soon as i get finished playing the actual game I'm gonna be trying out some of them that I already have in mind.

But what are some of your favorites?

p.s. if you could also leave a link to where i could download the mod, that'd be awesome. thanks!

Dystopia was pretty sweet back when I used to play it. Cyberpunk team objective-based action with cyberspace hacking, implants and whatnot. Fun, nice theme and great production values (at least in the original maps; the later ones were still good but didn't seem as slick somehow).

I highly suggest the FakeFactory mod which can be found here: http://cinematicmod.com/, it will transform Half-Life 2 in to a next generation game. It also features better character high res character models, each character has about 4 versions.

The only Half life 2 mod I consider essential reading. All the other mp mods were choked to death by feature creep.

One guy who looks like a shimmer of the predator (as in the movies) who can leap huge distances and kill with a single hit or eat killed opponents for health versus 4-8 other guys have a mix of assault weaponry.

It's not a huge player base but as it's 1 vs many its not really a matter of stacked players and screwed team balance. The hidden can die to a single shotgun blast so a moments hesitation can be fatal.

Misdirection and trickery are the hidden best tools, that and hanging corpses from the ceiling like meat.

The only thing i don't like is that it appears to be a multiplayer mod, hoping it has single player, as that's more of what i'm interested in.
I'm really into space games/sims and if any of you guys know of anything else like this, please let me know. thanks

strange that you would consider half life 2 for space sim mods when freespace 2 is sitting right there all open source and pretty.
